save files carry over?

I have had a question for a while now, but always forgot to ask. Do save files carry on to other games(Like if I created a character in HOH, and played till I was around lvl 20.. Would I if it was not on a permenant sever(just a game someone created) be able to run a new game, and load from were I was?).
If not is there a way to add this feature? I could really use it for upcoming game.
Sorry if this question has been asked before, thanx for any info.

Use Import() and Export()

It's not able now, because the savefiles are on the server side, and unless you get the server (host) to send you the .sav file, then you can't play on..

So if only I created a game, and let it run a couple of hours.. then stopped, the next day did it again.. it would save right?

First, you'd need a save system..

You see, when you connect to a host, you're connecting to the server. All savefiles are saved on that host's computer.

If YOU host, you get all players that play on your server's savefiles..

Now to answer your question, if you let it run a couple of hours, and let it save (however you save), then join it the next day, it should work, that is if your save system is all in order.

So yes..

Just an observation; they don't call it 'saving your game' for nothing.

But the method you are referring to is client-side saving, and it is possible, albeit with a little work. Actually, a little difficult work, to someone not used to client-server communications.
